Prior to the MCU the Avengers mostly consisted of characters who were not mutants and were not popular enough on their own to sell their own comics. So when Marvel comics was going bankrupt they started to sell off the movie rights to their characters to various studios, no one wanted the Avengers.

After that, Marvel needed a sun in the film industry. So they turned to a up a coming film maker, Y/N.

Y/N ended up producing ten films in total throughout the 90's before his untimely death.

Here are the most popular Marvel Movies from Y/N.

Y/N served as screenwriter

Beta Ray Bill (1994)

Beta Ray Bill is a space-faring epic set in the Marvel universe but notably absent of Thor. The film follows Beta Ray Bill, a courageous warrior from the Korbinite race, who is thrust into a desperate battle to save his dying planet from a massive cosmic threat known as the Doombringer, an ancient entity hellbent on annihilating all life.

The movie opens with Bill's people evacuating their planet on a massive fleet of ships, fleeing the Doombringer's unstoppable force. Bill, the genetically modified champion of his race, is tasked with protecting the fleet. During their journey, they are attacked by a monstrous alien fleet serving the Doombringer, and Bill is forced to pilot his ship through treacherous space.

While defending his people, Bill encounters an ancient, powerful relic – the hammer Stormbreaker, forged by Odin himself to rival Thor's Mjolnir. Bill's worthiness grants him the power of Stormbreaker, allowing him to transform into an unstoppable force capable of defending his people.

Armed with Stormbreaker, Beta Ray Bill confronts the Doombringer in a cosmic battle spanning multiple worlds, black holes, and wormholes. Bill's journey forces him to reckon with his own identity as a hero, the responsibility of wielding god-like power, and his willingness to sacrifice everything to save his race.

The climax sees Beta Ray Bill leading an assault on the heart of the Doombringer's fleet. After a fierce, visually stunning space battle, Bill faces the Doombringer in a final duel, ultimately using Stormbreaker to destroy the ancient threat, saving the remnants of his race. However, the cost is great as many of his people perish, and Bill is left to wander the cosmos, a hero without a home.

Madcap (1997)

Written and directed by Y/N

A Marvel film that tried to be a superhero movie, teen movie, a black comedy, and a total acid trip

Madcap is a quirky, darkly comedic superhero film that blends chaos and absurdity with heartfelt character moments. Set in a small urban town, the story centers around Jimmy Matthews (aka Madcap), an ordinary teenager who, after a freak accident, becomes an unstoppable, unkillable prankster with a twisted sense of humor and a penchant for chaos. Though the movie is based on the Madcap comic character, it takes liberties to craft its own unique tone, balancing the insanity with moments of genuine emotion.

Act 1: Jimmy Matthews (played by Devon Sawa), an average high school kid, is struggling with typical teenage problems—bullies, bad grades, and trying to win the heart of his crush, Erica Jones (played by Gabrielle Union), a tough, tomboyish African American girl who's into cheerleading, boxing, motorcycles and skateboarding. Erica is smart, confident, and has no time for nonsense, but Jimmy's awkward attempts to impress her only make him seem more like a goofball.

Jimmy's life changes forever when he's caught in a bizarre lab accident at an AIM facility while on a field trip. The accident involves a malfunctioning ray designed by MODOK (Voiced by Jeff Goldblum), the maniacal genius who leads AIM. MODOK is obsessed with creating chaos as a means to further his quest for global domination. Instead of killing Jimmy, the accident gives him extraordinary powers: he becomes completely immune to pain and seemingly unkillable, his mind becoming unhinged in the process.

Now with these unpredictable powers, Jimmy adopts the name Madcap and embraces a life of chaotic pranks, all while trying to figure out what to do with his newfound abilities. He begins using his abilities to mess with his bullies and authority figures, but soon, the chaos catches the attention of some dangerous people.

Act 2: Madcap's antics bring him to the attention of MODOK, who sees Jimmy as a potential weapon for his own plans. MODOK sends two of his hired mercenaries—Batroc the Leaper (played by Jean-Claude Van Damme), a French martial artist with an ego as big as his kick, and The Looter (played by Rob Schneider), a small-time crook turned supervillain with a knack for stealing high-tech gadgets—to capture Madcap.

Meanwhile, Madcap's feelings for Erica deepen, though he struggles to balance his chaotic new identity with his desire for normalcy. Erica, who initially dismisses Jimmy's goofy behavior, starts to notice a change in him and grows concerned. When she gets caught in the crossfire of one of MODOK's schemes, Madcap realizes that his antics have real-world consequences. Erica ends up helping Jimmy see that while he has these strange powers, he has a responsibility to use them for something more than just causing mayhem.

Act 3: As MODOK's plans escalate, Madcap finds himself going head-to-head with Batroc, the Looter, and AIM's army of henchmen. The tone of the movie stays true to its absurdity—fights are over-the-top, with Madcap using his regenerative powers to perform ridiculous stunts while Batroc and the Looter's ineptitude provides comic relief. Erica steps in to help, showing off her own fighting skills and proving to be just as tough as Madcap when it counts.

The climax takes place in MODOK's headquarters, where Madcap confronts MODOK in a zany final battle. Using his unpredictable nature and a complete disregard for pain or death, Madcap manages to outwit MODOK's intricate traps and schemes. The fight ends in a spectacular display of insanity, with Madcap using a combination of slapstick comedy, high school pranks, and genuine heroics to bring MODOK down.

In the end, Jimmy realizes that he can't just live in chaos forever—he has to be responsible for the people he cares about, especially Erica. Though he remains a prankster at heart, he's learned to use his powers for good, albeit in his own madcap way. Erica, now fully aware of his secret, becomes his closest ally, and the two share a playful and heartfelt moment as they walk away from the destruction, hand in hand, ready for whatever craziness comes next.

The main antagonist, a megalomaniac super-genius with an enormous head, who orchestrates Jimmy's accident and attempts to manipulate him for his evil plans.

Nightwatch (1997)

Directed by: Y/N
Produced by: New Line Cinema
Distributed by: Dimension Films

Plot Summary:

Nightwatch (1997) introduces Dr. Kevin Trench, a brilliant scientist who accidentally becomes the superhero Nightwatch after a fateful encounter with his future self. Set against the backdrop of a gritty 1990s New York City, the movie delves into themes of fate, responsibility, and sacrifice, as Kevin struggles to prevent a dark future from unfolding.

Plot
Act 1:

The film opens with Dr. Kevin Trench (played by Michael Jai White), a brilliant biomedical engineer, witnessing a violent confrontation on the streets of Manhattan. A figure clad in a high-tech suit is fighting off a group of armed thugs, but the figure is mortally wounded. As Kevin approaches the body, he's shocked to discover the dying man is himself—an older version of him. Panicked and confused, Kevin grabs the high-tech suit from his future self and flees.

Over the next few days, Kevin struggles with what he's seen, haunted by visions of his death and the possibility of a dark future he's meant to prevent. With the help of the advanced suit, which enhances his strength and agility, he takes on the persona of Nightwatch, determined to investigate the events leading to his future death and prevent them from ever happening.

Meanwhile, the criminal underworld in New York is in chaos. The aging crime lord Silvermane (played by Rutger Hauer) is trying to maintain his grip on the city while secretly researching new technologies to extend his life. Silvermane's gang has become more ruthless under the guidance of his henchmen, Scorpion (Scott Adkins) and Tarantula (Danny Trejo), both of whom have undergone dangerous experimental procedures that have given them enhanced abilities.

Act 2:

As Nightwatch investigates the growing violence in the city, he crosses paths with Scorpion and Tarantula, both of whom are hunting him down under Silvermane's orders. The fight scenes between Nightwatch and these enhanced villains are brutal, blending martial arts with the chaotic urban environment. Scorpion's agility and deadly tail-like appendage make him a fierce opponent, while Tarantula's cybernetically enhanced limbs give him monstrous strength.

Kevin learns that Silvermane has been researching life-extending nanotechnology—the same technology that powers his Nightwatch suit. As Kevin delves deeper, he discovers that Silvermane's ultimate goal is to transfer his consciousness into a younger, more powerful body using the same tech that created Nightwatch. Silvermane wants to cheat death and rule forever, and he's willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way.

However, the more Kevin uncovers, the more he realizes that his future death may not be as simple as stopping Silvermane. The suit itself starts showing signs of malfunction, suggesting that his destiny is tied to the very technology he's using. Kevin starts to question whether he can escape his fate or if becoming Nightwatch is what ultimately leads to his downfall.

Act 3:

In the final act, Silvermane captures Kevin's friend and research partner, Dr. Angela Cairns (played by Nia Long), who had been helping Kevin investigate the technology behind the suit. Silvermane plans to use Angela to perfect his nanotechnology and transfer his consciousness into a new body. Nightwatch, despite his growing doubts and the suit's instability, launches a desperate rescue mission.

The climax sees Nightwatch infiltrating Silvermane's high-tech lair, where he faces off against Scorpion and Tarantula in a series of intense, high-octane battles. With the suit malfunctioning, Kevin must rely more on his wits and combat skills to survive. Eventually, he defeats Scorpion and Tarantula in a brutal fight, but Silvermane reveals that he's already begun the process of transferring his consciousness.

In the final confrontation, Nightwatch battles a rejuvenated Silvermane, now in a cybernetic body, combining his centuries of combat experience with raw, enhanced power. The battle takes them to the rooftops of New York, where Nightwatch uses the last of his suit's power to overload Silvermane's systems, causing a catastrophic failure that leads to the crime lord's destruction.

In the aftermath, Kevin, now aware of the dangers of his future, discards the suit, vowing to live his life on his own terms. But as the movie ends, Kevin receives a vision of a new threat on the horizon, teasing a potential sequel.

Morbius: The Living Vampire (1998)

Directed by: David Cronenberg
Produced by: New Line Cinema and Blue Bull Productions
Distributed by: Columbia Pictures

Tagline: "The thirst for life comes at a deadly price."

Plot Summary:
Morbius: The Living Vampire (1998) is a dark, gothic horror superhero film that brings Marvel's tragic antihero, Dr. Michael Morbius, to life in a stylized, atmospheric vision. Directed by David Cronenberg, known for his mastery of body horror, the film delves deep into the psychological and physical transformation of a man who becomes a vampire through science gone awry.

Plot:
Act 1:

Dr. Michael Morbius (Johnny Depp), a brilliant but socially reclusive biochemist, is desperate to find a cure for the rare and debilitating blood disorder that has left him physically weak and on the verge of death. Obsessed with saving himself—and others who suffer like him—Morbius develops an experimental serum derived from vampire bat DNA, which he believes will regenerate his blood cells.

Morbius' fiancée, Martine Bancroft (Helena Bonham Carter), supports his work despite growing concerns about his increasingly erratic behavior. Against the advice of his peers, Morbius injects himself with the serum. The experiment initially seems like a success, rejuvenating him with increased strength, agility, and vitality. But soon after, horrific side effects begin to manifest—Morbius develops a powerful, uncontrollable thirst for human blood.

As his transformation intensifies, Morbius discovers that he can no longer survive without feeding on the blood of others. In the first of many tragic moments, he accidentally kills a fellow scientist in a fit of bloodlust, horrified by the monster he's becoming. Unable to face the consequences of his actions, he goes on the run, abandoning Martine and his former life in the process.

Act 2:

As Morbius struggles to control his new vampiric urges, he finds himself caught between two worlds—trying to maintain his humanity while succumbing to the beast within. Desperate to prevent further loss of life, Morbius secludes himself in the abandoned tunnels beneath New York City, searching for a cure to reverse his condition.

In the shadows of the city, Morbius begins to encounter others who are drawn to his dark power, including a vicious crime lord known as Crown (Willem Dafoe), who sees Morbius as the key to creating an army of scientifically-engineered vampires to rule the criminal underworld. Crown kidnaps Martine, intending to force Morbius to work for him in exchange for her life.

Crown's right-hand man, Shriek (Fairuza Balk), a sadistic villainess with sonic scream abilities, revels in the chaos Morbius causes and torments him at every turn, trying to push him further into becoming a full-fledged monster. Meanwhile, Detective Simon Stroud (Lance Henriksen)—a no-nonsense, morally gray investigator—begins hunting Morbius, viewing him as a dangerous vigilante.

As Morbius grapples with his growing bloodlust and the potential to lose the last shred of his humanity, he fights off Crown's growing influence while attempting to protect the city from Crown's twisted vision of a vampire-controlled empire.

Act 3:

The final act culminates in a brutal showdown between Morbius and Crown. Crown, now transformed into a monstrous, enhanced version of a living vampire, leads an attack on the city. Morbius, despite being tempted to join Crown's crusade for dominance, ultimately rejects the idea of a vampire-led society, still clinging to his fragmented humanity.

In a visceral, action-packed battle set in the crumbling remains of an ancient cathedral, Morbius faces Crown, Shriek, and their army of synthetic vampires. With Martine's life in the balance and Stroud closing in on him, Morbius uses his scientific knowledge and newfound vampiric abilities to bring Crown down.

In the end, Morbius saves Martine but is forced to accept that he may never return to his former self. As dawn breaks over the city, Morbius disappears into the shadows, continuing his quest to find redemption and a cure for his vampirism, while Martine vows to help him from afar.
